Okay, a few posts ago, I made mention of how Google nixed a bunch of pages from one of my sites - www.BiographyPlus.com. Well, in order to overcome this, I decided to make a few changes. The first (and only) change I have made so far is to the home page. Previously, the page was full of links to each and every of the almost 600 celebrities and historical figures I had on the site. I thought that the robots were being confused by so many links on one page [remember: Google's webmaster guidelines say that you should not have any links on your page.] At first it works, within a few days, I went fro 82 indexed pages to 112. Within a few weeks I made it up to 170 indexed pages (a little more than 25% of the pages, but almost double of what I had). It remained like this for about a week, then it began to drop again. I am once again down to 114 pages indexed. So, here's a lesson for all of you - the number of links may affect the indexing of your page for only a little while. The next fewthings I am going to do are as follows: (1) on this very blog I am going to link to some of the pages that are not linking so that maybe a stray robot may visit, (2) recreate a new site map and suhbmit it to Google (someone said that this might work, and (3) begin doing some reciprocal linking for some of the pages.
I'll start with these five individuals and see if it does any good
George Washington http://www.biographyplus.com/george_washington.htm
Michael Jordan http://www.biographyplus.com/michael_jordan.htm
Evans Blue http://www.biographyplus.com/evans_blue.htm
James Madison http://www.biographyplus.com/james_madison.htm
Mark Twain http://www.biographyplus.com/mark_twain.htm
Heidi Klum http://www.biographyplus.com/heidi_klum.htm
Until next time . . . .

Celebrity News
A New Concept: Celebrity News by Real People
People love to read news about their favorite celebrities - so having celebrity news on your website is a good thing to have. We have been placing a lot of information about many celebrities on www.PopStarsPlus.com since we have begun. On each page, we have a feed from www.Topix.net to provide the latest up-to-date news on that particular celebrity. However, we have also decided to do something new, we have decided to add a celebrity news section with original articles about celebrities. The catch, and what makes this different from most other sites, is that we are asking the average fan out there to provide the content (kind of like a Wiki-news). The ads seeking submissions have been up for about a week so far on our site, with a number of responses. However, no real articles have come up so far. With about 150,0oo unique users each week, you think that more people would submit something - but I guess most want to get the information, not write it.
So, this blog is in a way an advertisement for submissions. The great part about the way we are doing this is that those that submit the articles can make money through Google Adsense - so they will not be writing for free. The submission guidelines can be found at http://www.popstarsplus.com/celebritynews_submissionguidelines.htm. As an added incentive, if you have any news about any celebrity or entertainment event, let us know. If you post enough articles, we will even give you your own author page.
If you want news and do not want to go through the hassle of anything like this, you can also go to Topix.net and set up a feed yourself. They have thousands of topics and all you need to do is place their code onto your site. If you have the time, you can also do your own research and write the news stories yourself every day.
News, because it is constantly changing brings people to your site and if you have good material, will continuously bring them back time and time again.
Until next time . . . .
